Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) is a tough job.
It just got a lot easier.
Whether you’re an executive, an entrepreneur, a consultant, or just beginning your career in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, the world needs you right now, and you need some support.
The DEI Academy contains information, tools, resources, and a network of other DEI professionals to help you do your job.
What is The DEI Academy?
Helping organizations become more diverse, equitable, and inclusive was never an easy task. But these days, it’s harder than ever.
As the world grows more polarized, practitioners not only need to know the unique needs of all marginalized groups, how your organization manages talent and fulfills its mission, how to speak so that leaders will listen and heed your advice, how to put yourself in someone else’s place and see the world from their perspective, foster solid working relationships with all kinds of stakeholders, facilitate tough conversations, and create meaningful, lasting change in organizations, but also how to defend their values and tactics against a growing chorus of critics.
The DEI Academy can help.
Become a member today, and gain immediate access to a suite of templates, explainers, and job aids that can help you work more efficiently and successfully.
In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to meet other DEI practitioners, ask and answer questions, and build your network.
It’s a tough job, but you shouldn’t have to do it alone.

SDS Global Enterprises has developed a competency model that practitioners can use to track their professional development needs and have created a number of tools to help practitioners assess and build their competencies.
Transforming cultures to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive begins with tying the work to the success of the organization. This includes knowing how the organization can be enhanced by DEI and how DEI will support the organization’s stated values.
Much (but not all) of the work of a DEI practitioner happens inside an organization. It’s about creating a culture where all employees, applicants, and volunteers feel welcome, celebrated, and able to do their best work.
Your DEI work doesn’t begin and end with your employees. One of the reasons organizations want to be diverse, equitable, and inclusive is because it helps make them more successful. A DEI practitioner can help their organizations achieve greater success in the marketplace.
It’s often said that DEI work is a marathon and not a sprint. It takes hard work, dedication, and patience. And when the marathon is over, a runner keeps running. In the same way, organizations that are committed to DEI have to be vigilant, always keeping at it.
Is the DEI Academy Right for me?
